Rauner Has Hung Himself with His Own Rope and Scaffolding

Rauner is fully aware of the noose he has placed around his own neck, as he acknowledged in this laughable attempt in his premature victory speech Tuesday night (he just had to time it to get on the 10 p.m. news shows) to united the Republican party. Saying he was “humbled” by the victory, he added:

To those who of you around the state who wanted to send me a message, let me be clear. I have traveled around the state and I have listened to you. While we differ on some things, let’s commit to working together on what unites us–the reforms we need to save our state.

Oh sure. What’s the first thing you’re going to do, Mr. Rauner, fire your wife, Diana? By many accounts, the self-proclaimed Democrat and progressive Diana had more to say about you did than your revolving door staff. There’s no doubt in anyone’s mind that her influence (directives?) cleared the way for your approval of taxpayer funded elective abortions on demand (a rarity for any state), the helping hand you gave to illegal aliens, the deal that gave the union-controlled Chicago Public Schools everything they wanted “and more,” and other betrayals.

We should inquire how much influence the Mrs. has on Michigan Avenue Fats

It may be easier for all the king’s horses and all the king’s men to put Humpty Dumpty together again than to repair the divisions that Governor Rauner has exacerbated in the Illinois Republican Party.
